1939.8 miles and making progress!!

The 'for-profit' medical clinics followed us everywhere we went........
......Just waiting for the inevitable liver failures!

The 'John Muir' day shelter on the way to
Yosemite NP - (no overnight camping) 

Lake 'Wanda' - Named after one of John Muir's daughters.

Enjoying the morning sun.....

It's now 11:00AM.... note the clouds
Remember the old saying...
"Clouds before 11:00....Thunder storms by 7:00"

"Did I tell you.....I don't like thunder storms??"

And then the next morning....all is forgiven.....

Until the afternoon when it start all over again!
With snow this time!

But then it's God's country again in the morning
and all is well with the world!

We're the weird ones out here!....
Most people come here to fish!

(Probably more logical than just
 chasing rabbits up mountains)

"Rest time!....chasing rabbits is hard work!"

This is another thing they get right!....
......have some animal carry your stuff!

Gorgeous country....The 'Carson-iceberg wilderness'
Hiking along at the 11,000' level.
(except for here - dropped to the lake below to escape the thunder storms)

COACHES CORNER:

While Darrell puts in his 20 miles a day

We kill time in other ways......!

Staff reporters John and Sandy reporting for duty!

'BODIE'  an 'arrested decay' ghost town!
An old, turn of the century, gold and silver mine!
(Typewriter above was courtesy of Bodie!)

As always....We cheat!

Here's how WE do the PCT!
......On horseback!
From Devil's Post Pile to the red Cones!

The view from the driver's seat!
(Oops....I mean...Saddle!)

The biggest problem??....
Getting these  *&%#  horses to stop eating while underway!

They must have known Dan was thinking of coming here!
They added 'NO HANG GLIDERS'
just to be on the safe side!

Dropped in at the Lone Pine
'Beverly and Jim Rogers film museum'
(They filmed 80% of the B class westerns
in the nearby Alabama hills)

The Alabama hills!....classic western scenery!
(except us of course)

And Guess what else they had at the museum??

A 1941 Buick coupe convertible!

The exact same car I had as a young man!

(read... a long time ago!)

The car I drove back in the 70's

(except for a 1964 401cu in V8, 1959 power steering,
1960 power brakes, 1962 rear end.... honking big radial tires.....
Except for that..... mine was pretty much stock!)

A great car for enjoying the sunshine!

Here's one for Klaas

A great example of first-class body work!

Want bigger tires??

No Problem.... Grab some pliers and presto!....Done!

And how do we end the day??
Simple.... a nice glass of wine by the camp fire!

Good night until the ext post!
